Bengaluru, June 22 (SocialNews.XYZ) The Bengaluru Police on Monday put a ban on the photographing and video recording of the COVID-19 patients when they are being taken to a hospital.
The step has been taken following the complaints of many patients, who feel such acts violate their privacy, a top police official said.
"When a Covid patient is taken to hospital, the bystanders take photos on their mobile and television channels also air. No photography without consent," said Police Commissioner Bhaskar Rao.
